"The extensive overlap between the aims of the anti-democratic elites, including business leaders and the military, and those of the Nazis, ensured that however the great the distaste of elites for the violence of the Nazis, they were willing to go along with their destruction of democracy.”

“What brought Hitler to supreme power within a few months of being appointed Reich Chancellor was a combination of murderous political violence whose ruthlessness was beyond anything imagined by the world of conventional politics in Germany, and a propaganda offensive that violated every standard of truthfulness and decency."

🧵 The #LAFires are the REAL story of "Landman," one that #BigOil sellouts and propagandists #BillyBobThornton, #JohnHamm and #TaylorSheridan won't touch with a ten foot pole.

Is #Landman compelling television. Sure (though it's already getting a little stupid). Is it also thinly veiled, ham-fisted #BigOil -servicing, anti- #EnergyTransition, #Climate-worsening #Disinformation & even outright #Propaganda? Without a doubt. By every definition of the word.

1) Is the source an expert on the topic they are speaking about; what general qualifications make them credible? 2) Does that fall within their specific field of specialty, and have they been there for enough time? 3) Is there any possibility for bias and motivated reasoning that would lower confidence in their opinion? 4) Is the source trustworthy; have they ever lied in the past? 5) Are the source's views consistent with what other relevantly authoritative sources say about the same topic? 6) Is the evidence presented good; can we verify it?

Russian bots boosted NATO critic ahead of Croatian election, researchers say – POLITICO

With just under 50 percent of the vote in the first election round last month, Milanović failed to secure an outright victory. The runoff will take place Jan. 12, pitting him against Dragan Primorac from the ruling Croatian Democratic Union.

This is the crux of the #Trump problem vis a vis the #media #news #misinformation #disinformation #lies #Maga #MagaMedia

It's a quote from Oliver Darcy on Bluesky. I think his newsletter status.news is paywalled

But this is a perfect summary
The issue gets to the difficulty all news networks are grappling with as Trump returns to power. News executives believe that their programming should reflect the views of Americans across the political spectrum and are hesitant, to say the least, of icing out half the country in their coverage. But, at the same time, much of the country believes falsehoods pushed by Trump and his MAGA allies, such as the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. What is a news organization to do when so many people have been misinformed, almost entirely due to the toxic waste contaminating the public discourse as a result of Trump's lies and the propaganda pushed by his allies? Is it really the journalistically prudent decision to fold into coverage viewpoints that are not grounded in reality? Of course, the answer is quite simple: Amplifying those who promote falsehoods, even if they genuinely believe them, only serves to misinform audiences. But arriving at that conclusion would also mean acknowledging that truth-based organizations are primarily only going to serve one-half of the country, given that the vast majority of the Republican Party is under the trance of Trump and his propagandists. And that seems to be a reality that too many news executives, constantly enamored with attracting conservative eyeballs, simply cannot accept.

Fake headlines flood Facebook after fact-checkers dropped — including 'Zuckerberg dead'

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is dealing with a flood of fake news headlines after announcing that his social media sites will stop fact-checking news stories on Meta platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Threads.
Sarah K. Burris (Raw Story - Celebrating 20 Years of Independent Journalism)

Meta is abandoning its misinformation program despite studies showing such programs are effective.

▪️ Why abandon it?

▪️ What impact could this have on misinformation online?

▪️ Why might Meta qualify this as a "censorship" issue?

▪️ How might young people be harmed as a result of this?

Meta is abandoning fact checking – this doesn’t bode well for the fight against misinformation

Numerous studies have shown that fact checking has helped reduce the spread of misinformation and disinformation online.

"The American-Filipino journalist [Maria Ressa] said Mark Zuckerberg’s move to relax content moderation on the Facebook and Instagram platforms would lead to a 'world without facts' and that was 'a world that’s right for a dictator'.'"

Meta is leaving its users to wade through hate and disinformation

The end of fact-checking at Meta could bring on more hate and disinformation, experts warn, and it’ll be up to Facebook, Instagram, and Threads users to stop it.

Facebook is now "fact-free", after Zuck visited Mar-a-lago and contributed $1M to Sir #TrumpVirus

https://apnews.com/article/meta-facts-trump-musk-community-notes-413b8495939a058ff2d25fd23f2e0f43

So now, following the #disinformation invite in Muskville, social media as defined by Facebook et al is devoid of fact-checks & moderation. In the name of "free speech". Rah rah "alternative facts"! Reality is now optional. :-(

Most of my vintage Facebook/IG friends have now signed off.

The Global Engagement Center, a State Department unit established in 2016, shuttered on Monday at a time when officials and experts tracking propaganda have been warning of the risk of disinformation campaigns from US adversaries such as Russia and China. Congress failed to extend its funding following years of Republican criticism.
